A/N: Here's chapter 14! Read and enjoy!

Josie lay motionless and helpless on the floor. It was a few minutes before she awakened from her slumber. She struggled to sit upright, still dizzy from the blow to her head. When she rubbed the back of her head, she noticed that there was a small knot on her scalp.

"Ouch" she winced. She removed her hand and noticed a little blood on her fingers. "I'm gonna beat the hell out of the person who did this to me!" she said angrily.

She glanced around the room and noticed that it was different, but weird. The walls, ceiling, and the floor were all lined with large white pillow tiles. Everything was soft and comfortable, but freaky at the same time. There were no windows in the room, but there was a dim light in the ceiling.

"Where am I?" she whispered under her breath. "Where's Vaughn? I hope they didn't catch him either!"

As she stood up, she fell back down onto the soft floor. "I gotta get out of here. There must be a trap door in here somewhere." She said as she scooted herself up and searched the room.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Vaughn continued to wander aimlessly down the dimly lit hallways. With every passing footstep and voice he heard, he immediately took refuge in closets or behind tall cabinets, careful not to get caught.

"Damn this place is huge. It's gotta be a mile long! I feel like I've been walking forever." Vaughn whispered to himself.

As he walked around a corner, he spotted a familiar figure standing down the hall. Startled, Vaughn jumped back and hid behind a wall. He waited a few seconds and peered around the corner and realized that it was the figure that captured him and Josie. He continued to stare at it for a few moments, trying to determine who or what it was. Suddenly, the phantom turned towards Vaughn's direction and stared at him. For some reason, Vaughn was not afraid. He did not feel like he was in any danger. The figure moved a step closer and pointed at a doorway.

"It must be trying to tell me something." Vaughn thought as he stepped out of his hiding place. "What are you showing me?" he whispered loudly to the figure, but it continued to stand still, pointing at the door.

As he stepped closer to the figure, he reached his hand out to try and touch it. It slowly backed away and disappeared into thin air. Vaughn stood there in confusion and amazement. He walked carefully into the dimly lit room, making sure that there was no one watching him or waiting inside. As he stepped further inside, he noticed that the room was a large office. There were shelves full of books, science posters on the wall, and there was a desk cluttered with books and papers. Vaughn walked over to the desk to see what he could find. He immediately found a blueprint of a lab, hidden underneath some books .

"What's this Pearadyne?" he asked as he examined the blueprint closely. He then searched under the blueprint and found pictures of Blake Holsey School and more alarmingly, pictures of his parents.

"What the hell is this? Who has pictures of my parents?" Before he could investigate further, he heard footsteps coming down the hall.

"Oh shit someone's coming…I gotta hide!" He glanced around the room and noticed a closet hidden far back in a dark corner. He quickly ran inside and closed the door.

As the footsteps approached the office door, Vaughn could hear faint mumbling coming from outside of the door. Suddenly someone opened the door and turned on the lights. Vaughn stood completely still, trying hard not to make any noise. The person walked over to the desk and sat down. Then another person came in the room and closed the door. After a few silent moments, a man's voice began to speak.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I can't believe that I finally have Josie…I really hit the jackpot with catching Vaughn." The man said jokingly. A woman's voice could be heard in the background laughing.

I am very upset that they rescued Josie from the condemned Blake Holsey. She was supposed to stay there and rot! I tried to get rid of Vaughn too when he was stuck in the past. But no, she had to go rescue him! No one can stop me now! Victor Pearson doesn't know Vaughn and Josie are missing and he doesn't know who was the real culprit behind the Pearadyne explosion! He certainly doesn't expect it to be me!" The man laughed cynically.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Vaughn became enraged at what he had just heard. He had one nerve to bust out of the closet and beat the hell out of the man, but he couldn't risk being caught. He decided to calm down and stay inside the closet and listen to the conversation.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's so sad what they did to Avenir…he was a great colleague of mine…what a shame. But now, when Victor does find out about what's going on, he'll expect it to be Avenir again, not me!" The man laughed hysterically.

"Didn't you teach at Blake Holsey before?" A female voice asked.

"Unfortunately yes…" the man's voice replied. "For six years. I felt like I was wasting my time when Victor was getting all of the attention. He denied me the right to complete my project!"

"So what did you do?" The woman asked.

"One day I faked my disappearance. I went through the vortex in my office. I knew where I was going because I had already found the location for this lab. I've been here before many times, unbeknownst to Victor. Those people are complete idiots back at Blake Holsey…including that fat dunce Principal Durst!"

"Yeah, they're all assholes in that school, especially that stupid science club!" The female's voice said.

Vaughn widened his eyes and gasped. He recognized the woman's voice. "Hey wait a minute…her voice sounds familiar!"

"What was that?" The man asked.

"I don't know. It sounds like it came from over by the closet." The woman replied as she walked in the direction of the closet.

Vaughn froze in horror as he tried to hold his breath. He could hear the footsteps walking closer to the closet, rambling through the junk that was around the room.

"I don't see anything around here…" she said. "Maybe I should look in the closet."

Vaughn was now more horrified now than he had ever been in his life. He knew that if she opened the door, he would not live to see another day.

"Never mind that, lets go. It's probably a mouse or something." The man said as he got up and left the room. The woman removed her hand from the closet doorknob and left the room.

When the lights were turned off and the door closed, Vaughn took a huge sigh of relief.

"That was too damn close." He waited a few seconds to calm down before leaving his temporary sanctuary.

He crept out of the closet and glanced around the room and walked over to the desk. He noticed something disturbing. There were pictures of him and Josie and personal information about them. There was also a diagram of he and Josie's unique DNA and also school records that contained information about their career at Blake Holsey.

"How does he have all of this stuff about us? Who is he anyway?" At that same moment, his question was answered. He searched through the clutter on the desk and found a nametag that revealed the identity of his abductor.

"I can't believe this…Professor Middleton!" he gasped angrily. "So he's behind all of this…I gotta find Josie and tell her quick!" He quietly left the room and closed the door. He walked down another dimly lit hallway in hopes of finding Josie. When he walked around a corner, he came face to face with someone he did not expect to run into.

He gasped as he took a few steps back. "What the hell are you doing here?"
